Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Korean Men with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.

Conclusion: We identified three patients (0.3%) with Fabry disease among unselected Korean men with LVH. Although the prevalence of Fabry disease was low in our study, early treatment of Fabry disease can result in a good prognosis. Therefore, in men with unexplained LVH, differential diagnosis of Fabry disease should be considered. PMID: 30804731 [PubMed - in process]
